Sankeien named after three valleys

In Sankeien, which is a famous Japanese-style garden located in Yokohama city, fresh green and azalea flowers are now very beautiful. Sankeien literally means three valley garden and it was also derived from its founder's pen-name. Its founder was Sankei Hara(his real name was Tomitaro Hara), who became a successful raw silk trader and made a fortune. Strolling round and viewing the whole scape takes about one hour and through the experience it fascinates me. My favorite one! Why don't you join my tour to Sankeien?

As I am a 60 year old man, born in Tokyo, graduated from a university in Tokyo and worked for a leading paper wholesale company at its headquarters for 35 years, I am an Edokko or a native Tokyoite. I am familiar with various interesting places in Tokyo and the Kanto area such as historic spots, scenic beauty, entertainment, restaurants and so on. Although I basically provide several regular walking tours for visitors from abroad, I am willing to arrange your tour plan in a customized way according to your interest. If I receive your inquiry, I am ready to hear your interest and what you want to experience, and discuss your plan with you in advance.
